I need everything for a back country hunt. How would you spend $1,000?

My dad and I are planning a mule deer hunt to Unit 2B in New Mexico end of October, first part of November. Problem is we have no gear for a hunt like this. So here's my question. If you had $1,000 - $1,200 to spend to get everything you needed for a back country mule deer hunt, late October and early November in Northern New Mexico at an elevation of 6,500 to 7,500 feet, what would you buy of each? We've both got the clothing and the backpacks. We would need a tent, preferably a 3 man, cause we're pretty good size guys, sleeping bags and pads, cooking utensils/ stove, water purification filter, and food. Maybe throw in a spotting scope, we've both got good bino's and guns. How would you spend the money?
